tranSPort SimuLation

The payload interfaces for each of the 4 V9s are not connected to each other. Therefore to control their relative positioning, a new Position Indicator Control Stand has been developed.

A special version of the LDS combo has been designed to incorporate a solid trunnion vibrator body mounting, with the slip table combo frame being attached directly to steel plates on top of a seismic mass. The base fabrication is designed to accept a Load Bearing Platform (LBP) used for vertical vibration.

An air isolated seismic block has been designed so that all forces are transmitted to this block. Testing is controlled using an LDS Multiple Amplifier Control (MAC) System together with a Multi Input Multi Output vibration controller (MIMO) to

simultaneously control each V9 system independently in order to achieve the required combined effect. Using Airglides, the four combos can be readily repositioned into multiple orientations to enable both vertical and horizontal testing of various sized payloads.

the Quad V9 (4 x 23,605 lbf) Vibration test System has been specially designed for a transport simulation

application testing structures at frequencies from Dc and payloads exceeding 13,000 lbs. With a cross

section over 20 ft x 10 ft it is much larger in size than the vibration system interface plates. the capability to

independently control the vibration accelerations at multiple positions on a single payload of this size is

revolutionary.

PacKage teSting

most consumer products undergo vibration testing, the most common form being package testing.

Package testing is designed to simulate a product's journey once boxed at the factory for transport

through to the customer's home.

One such LDS package system was designed to enable the customer to simultaneously test two plasma screen television sets, weighing 187 lb each, in their transport boxes. The tests were designed to reproduce the effects of transport experienced by the televisions. These tests allowed for the optimization of the packaging design and savings on materials such as polystyrene packaging. The customer used a combination of Sine tests, typically <0.19 inch peak-to-peak in the 5 - 20 Hz range and Random tests <1.5g up to 200 Hz. The system combines a rigidly mounted standard LDS V875-640 shaker with specially designed steel trunnions and a magnesium head expander, 5 ft 9 in x 7 ft 2 in, is supported by a Load Bearing Platform (LBP). The basic over-turning capability of the LBP is 3688 lbf ft, and it is restrained by guide shafts which are part of the steel work. Air-bags located underneath the trunnions isolate the vibration. Pnuematic isolation is incorporated to prevent unwanted vibration being transmitted into the building.

Once on site the head expander is positioned at floor level, allowing the loading and unloading of the payloads by pallet truck for the quick turn around of large test articles. A remotely operated safety mechanism to lock and unlock the LBP had to be designed to allow

access to the shaker. V875-640 mounted in

trunnions with Load Bearing Platform and 5 ft 9 in x 7 ft 2 in head expander

Each shaker is fitted with a Guided Head Expander that allows interfacing to the customer’s specialized payload. A steel truss rigidly connects the shakers together.

To ensure the dual system is mobile as required by the customer, each shaker base is integrated with Airglides allowing the full shaker assembly to be moved effectively on a cushion of air.

The special LDS Pneumatic Control Stands provide the operator with shaker body and armature position display and control. Shaker armature and body position are automatically controlled to ensure that the complete system remains balanced.

Both shakers can be used either individually or in the standard dual (push-push) configuration; the LDS Multiple Amplifier Control (MAC) System allows this. Each shaker is driven to a tight amplitude and phase tolerance of the other to ensure consistent application of vibration, minimizing cross-coupling and ensuring system and payload safety.

Designed to test payloads for a defense customer, the Dual LDS V850-440

SPa24/56K special Vibration test System has been engineered for coupled

aLtituDe SimuLation

To prevent the vacuum pulling the shaker armature up into the environmental chamber, the shaker is fitted with a special Vacuum Compensation Extender System which provides an opposing force to hold the armature down to its mid-position. In both static and dynamic testing, the shaker armature and body positions are controlled by a special balancing control system.

To ensure the consistency of any vacuum effect, the shaker is sealed to the floor of the altitude simulation chamber, allowing full armature movement within its Velocity, Displacement and Acceleration capabilities.

To allow testing of large and long-shaped payloads,

the V9 shakers are operated in a dual configuration using the LDS Multiple Amplifier Control (MAC).

the Dual V9 (2 x 23,605 lbf) Vibration test System has been specially

adapted to operate in conjunction with an altitude simulation chamber
